Discuss Concordia approval

Updates Concordia RE: their accreditation and changes. Confirm “registered art therapist” includes ATR for supervision / faculty requirement.

• The requirement for supervision by a “Registered Art Therapist” refers to an art therapist registered by any of the art therapy associations that CATA recognizes as having education standard parity.
• Board confirmed that there is a short form Registration application available to all, including Concordia faculty, for those who were registered by AATA or any of the associations referred to above.

Responding to inquiries about Telehealth practicum hours

Response to inquiry from one of the training programs

Do these hours count the same way as in-person direct client contact hours?

Do we need to set a ratio or number to limit how many telehealth hours will count toward registration, in order to ensure adequate training for competency in art therapy practice (both in-person and virtual)?

• CATA will defer to the requirements of the training institutes - expecting them to provide their students with experiences in a variety of therapeutic settings, including telehealth.
• CATA will be revisiting our education standards within the next year, especially as they pertain to telehealth training.
